Sometimes Sully Nails It

Andrew Sullivan gets it right more often than not. I do wish some of these 'journalists' would ask some simple questions when confronted with the typical blather about 'too much spending':
What do you want to stop spending money on?
Should we disband The US Coast Guard?
Do we need to shut down the highways?
Can we do without all those bothersome people in the FBI?
What EXACTLY do you want to lose?
